Well, if you're gonna destroy something, you may as well do it in style. Everyone watching, and a camera on his helmet...

Watch the damn video. He obviously landed with the bars not straight, pretty clear me thinks.

He should not have tried to continue riding the wheelie when the bike started leaning over just before he reached the group of bikers. He landed the wheelie with the bike leaned over, when the bike straightened up vertically, it over corrected itself with its momentum and threw him into a nasty tank slapper. Only way to have saved that was to have put the bike down when the wheelie started to go off center. he is lucky to have got a away so lightly from a wheelie at that speed.

I'd always figured that is why wankers build street fighters. They've crashed their nice bikes, no insurance... so take the fucked plastic off and call it a street fighter.
